We all make good middle class livings and have employer provided health care. Since the ACA was passed our healthcare has gone up about 60% and covers less so whatever Trump wants to do with health care I'm fine with it. We had insurance before Obamacare and I'm sure we'll have it if it is repealed. How is Trump going to take away our health care? That is between employee and employer.

worth another LOL

Job puts 1500 into my HSA a year to help towards deductibles.

Between my wife and newborn going to the doctor as much as tney do im probably a lock to pay close to 15k a year on health insurance and we're all perfectly healthy.
Id probably be better off without health insurance at all. After just a few years of savings of premiums and deductibles id be able to pay any big medical bill out of pocket. I haven't needed to go to the doctor in years.

If I get some rare thing that requires like 250k procedure than oh well i die. Bad luck that's life.

"abject failure" is hilarious. in contrast to what exactly? what do you think healthcare was going to look like in 2017, if only it wasn't for BARACKHUSSEINobama and his meddling band of non-white-non-males?

there's absolutely room for improvement, and people can disagree about the reasons for that gap, but rofl at calling it an abject failure. tell that to someone who literally could not buy insurance before the law was enacted.

good luck backing your claim up though! wooderson is (presumably?) worse off, therefore abject failure. take a break man, cool those jets. read a little bit first.

I think every viable dem candidate in 2020 has basically came out for a Medicare for all type system except for like Biden if you think his old ****ty ass has a chance.The mechanics may be unclear but I don't see how someone could be reading the news these days and not see a pretty large push left on healthcare

Good ****ing god. The third one literally just says 'we suck, but not as much as the other guy'.

'Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos' is how they wanna play it I guess

kinda think making the wall "transparent" ups the cost by something like 30 times or so

I love to imagine the wall can't be built because of the danger of falling bags o' drugs landing on people and killing them.

Might lower the cost 30 times, this could be Trump rationalizing a chain link fence.

If we built the wall only like one foot high then they wouldn't have to throw the drugs as high and there would be less danger

where do I submit this idea?
